Advances In Healthcare Instruments – Portable Medical Home Equipment

Patient care and comfort have
been some of the key drivers of the healthcare industry in recent times. In the
US it was estimated that even about 5 years ago some 12 million people were receiving
in-home health care. This trend is only being mirrored in India and is likely
to grow with the great advances in technology. What makes home care easy,
readily available, and affordable is the steady introduction to some
superlative medical devices made available by medical products manufacturers
such as Point of Care Biomedical (POCT). The technological innovations
introduced by POCT and other companies has made it possible for compact
diagnostic equipment to be privately owned and used.

Common Home-use Medical
Devices

Some of the most common medical devices found in homes include first aid supplies and medication delivery equipment. These include hard tip thermometers, bandages and heating pads, and even dosage cups for liquid medication. Mobility aids such as crutches, canes, and prosthetic limbs or sensory aids such as glasses and hearing aids are also very common. With the advancement of technology and attempts to overcome the shortcomings of these devices, a lot many more medical aid devices have been introduced. These include ultrasonic height and weight scales, flexible tip thermometers and infrared thermometers, and mobility scooters. The introduction of e-commerce based medical supplies stockists such as the Smart Medical Buyer website have made it easier to equip ourselves with these. You can find medical instruments by POCT such as compressed nebulizers and ECG Spray on their platform.

Specialized care is now
possible

Even about a decade ago, developing a disease such as Diabetes Mellitus translated into a lifetime of diagnostic testing at pathological laboratories. A person with Asthma would have to rush to the ER or a clinic every time he or she suffered an attack. The sheer labour, effort, and money spent on monitoring these or providing relief was intimidating. With the easy availability of home testing devices and POCT lancets, a diabetes patient can easily test his or her blood glucose levels at home several times a day. The battery-operated portable nebulizer and strong airflow compressor nebulizer have made life very easy for patients suffering from asthma and pulmonary disorders.

Going Beyond

Medical devices manufacturers
such as POCT have gone far beyond and are now taking homecare to the next
level. The POCT vein finder is one device that has been developed to help
patients who are chronically ill or patients who suffer from needle anxiety,
those with fragile veins, or even those who are allergic to the tourniquet
material. This portable, lightweight LED device helps locate the veins allowing
first stick success. This also means that the patient’s caregivers can learn to
administer medication at home if need be.
